30. What? This is a "problem"? Populations of the counties to which you refer:

Sat Oct 24, 2020, 06:58 PM

Oct 2020

Miami 2,716,940
Broward 1,952,778
Palm Beach 1,496,770
Orange 1,393,452
Seminole 471,826

Collier 384,902
Lee 770,577
Charlotte 188,910
Sumter 132,420

(these are population, not registered voters)

How far is "way" behind? Biden counties add up to 8,031,766, trump counties 1,476,909.

So assuming the proportion of registered voters/total population is equal in all counties, even if what you say is true (depending on the "way" definition), voting is STILL "way" (that word again) ahead in aggregate in Biden counties vs. trump counties.

In fact even if every single voter were to show up in trump counties, only about 20% would have to show up in Biden counties to equal that.

No, the sky is not falling.
